Stem cells will help with birth defects and skull injuries

Stem cells that ensure the plasticity of the bones of the skull of newborns and differ in origin from the cells that form the bones of other parts of the body can help with rare congenital pathology and with the restoration of craniofacial injuries.

Encapsulated beta cells give hope to diabetics

Scientists learned how to grow "blanks" of beta cells that produce insulin molecules, and pack them into special shells that allowed them to reach the pancreas. Injection of such cells dramatically improved the condition of mice suffering from type 2 diabetes.
